Abstract (en)

A filter element roll (10) of a particulate filter (1) consisting of a laminated body of filter units (13) wound around a cylindrical core (9) is provided. Each filter unit consists of a pair of filter media sheets (5) made of nonwoven metal fabric and a corrugated metal sheet (7) interposed between the pair of the filter media sheets. The edges (51) of the filter media sheets on one side of the filter unit are welded together so that an exhaust gas passage (3) having a closed end on one side of the filter unit is formed between the filter media sheets. After welding the edges (51), a plurality of the filter units (13) are placed one upon another to form a laminated body of the filter units in such a manner that the welded edges (51) of the filter units alternately face in opposite directions. The filter element roll (10) is formed by winding the laminated body of the filter units around the core (9). Since the edges (51) of the respective filter units can be welded before they are laminated and wound into the roll, the welding work of the edges of the filter units is greatly simplified. <IMAGE>
